Re: Fisching

As a techno-peasant, I have no idea. Machine
In Britain, probably every medium to large library used to have at least a couple of microfiche viewers. I last used one probably in 1987, and most people younger than 40 have no idea what the technology ever was, but librarians are a conservative lot and tend to put things on ever more remote shelves rather that ditching them. Given that libraries have suffered mortal injury during the 2020 shenanigans, microfiche viewers may well be available. Could be worth asking the head librarian at your city central library.
However, it appears that our hero will need something more than just a viewer.
